Household Drain Care: Why You Should Nix the Home Remedy


Drain and Sewer

Clogged drains are a fairly common home plumbing problem, and ideally you’ll be able to resolve the most minor of them with a plunger. However, some clogs are a little tougher, and need some extra help. As a handy homeowner, you might be tempted to go out and pick up some store-bought drain cleaner, or maybe look up a YouTube video on how to use a home remedy to clean your drain. Unfortunately, this can be a mistake. Keep reading to learn why.

Insufficient Solution

Neither home remedies nor store-bought drain cleaners will sufficiently relieve your drains of a clog. This is because rather than permanently removing the clog, the best they can do is break it up enough that your drains will appear to work properly for at least a few months, until you have another buildup of debris. Instead, our professional plumbers can effectively find your clog using video pipe inspection, and relieve it using specialized tools that only professionals have access too.

Damaging

The other factor that’s important to consider is that home remedies and store bought solutions are often caustic, and can eventually wear down your pipes to the point that you need pipe replacement. If you think you can use a drain snake on your own, you may very well scratch the inside of your pipes, creating a break in the line that can lead to leaks or premature repiping.

If you truly want to relieve clogs from your plumbing system, and ensure that you won’t have to worry about them again in the near future, then it’s imperative that you hire a professional. There’s no cause for concern when you have our team on your side!

I have never encounter someone like Shawn H. He was here for hours at a very low price. Not only was he thorough he was so kind and very considerate. He did an amazing job keeping me informed and I would hire him again if needed... Shawn you are wonderfully amazing. Thank you so much for your time!

Penny

Called Advanced Home Services to schedule a routine furnace cleaning. Stewart did a great job and even tagged all our gas and water line so we would know which lines to shut off in case of an emergency. He was very friendly and helpful. I will be calling these guys for any future plumbing and heating issues that may pop up.

Shannon

When Robert C came for a routine check found a leak under my kitchen sink. He discovered the main source of the problem and had the time to fix it right away before it became worse. He did a fantastic job and went above and beyond what was required. He was very friendly and so helpful and did a fantastic job.
